Summary by 2244
Appraised Value
Issued by the Travis County Central Appraisal District (TCAD). The appraised value is "how much your home would have sold for on the market if it sold on Jan 1, 2022."
Homestead Exemption
Eligible homeowners with a Homestead Exemption (HE) will receive a break on their taxes by having withheld "20 percent of their taxable value from [property] taxes." See TCAD at https://traviscad.org for more detail regarding exemptions. Other exemptions include but are not limited to those for; Person Age 65 or older, Disabled Person, Disabled Veteran.
Assessed Value
This is the appraised value "when you bought the home... plus 10 percent each year."
Taxable Value
This the "value you're taxed on" which is the lower of the two values-appraised value and assessed value"
Tax Rate
Cities, counties, health districts, utility districts, school districts and other entities assign a rate that is applied to the Taxable Value each year. As an example AISD will tax "the coming fiscal year at $0.9966 per $100 valuation" or 0.9966%. So if your Taxable Value is $200,000 then your property tax is $200,000/$100*0.9966=$1993.20
